Debussy - Rêverie 

Debussy. Rêverie. Such a beautiful piece that captures the title, "a daydream", so well. There is something so soothing about the flowing melodic line, the way it repeats in almost a trance-like manner, that can't help but make you feel like you're in a dream. Did you know that Debussy later disliked this piece? It's fascinating how often this happens to works that become popular, can you think of another case where this happened? A certain Rachmaninoff piece comes to mind, and perhaps a Chopin too. I hope you enjoy this last week of waiting ♥

See you next week. You know why.

Rousseau is the only person that makes you look forward to Mondays

Debussy's music is something familiar and in the same time something that is really far away. Something that everyone has been reaching for. Something most beautiful we saw ,but we don't remember what exactly it is. And this music opens our minds, and shows us our deepest and most beautiful memories. I've remembered the red sunrise I saw when I was a kid while living in my grandma's house in Latvian village. The village was surrounded by forests and sometimes I was able to see most beautiful red sunrises all around the horizon with a white fog between the trees. That was most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life.....

MY FAVORITE!

Are there any more Debussy works you want to see, or is it time for another composer?

I just lost a friend, a kindred soul, my climbing partner, my late-night-let's-talk-about-music-theory, used-to-crush-on-you-but-now-we're-best-buds person. This was the first piece she learned on piano so thank you for having this here for me to visit and feel my pain.

For me personally Debussy's pieces are telling stories. This isn't just music, which you feel and think "That's beautiful". There's so much more.

HR2 is arriving, but now sit down and open your ears to this masterpiece

These violent delights have violent ends my dudes

This is the calm song to prepare us for the absolute hellstorm of a piece that's about to come next week

reverie is like the omelette of piano pieces. any professional worth their salt can play a passable rendition, but when someone truly skilled does it, you can always tell. thank you for a wonderful version of a classic.

This piece makes me feel like I'm falling through a moonlight sky with no end, no beginning, just me, the cool breeze in my hair, and the stars shrouding my body and dancing away for as far as the eye can see. Beautiful piece, Rousseau!

Usually I'm at school at this time, for this I'll make an exception 😜

It still never ceases to amaze me that a person can operate an instrument like this so finely to create such beautiful sound that becomes music.

Normally I can't play such big pieces because when I get halfway through I feel like dying but with his pieces I just want to learn more and I'm sad when I'm done

Boy, you're just insane ... I also play the piano and I wouldn't say I am bad ... But when I hear you playing I feel like I am under a charm. I always wonder how long you have to practise a day or for one composition? And one question from pianist to pianist: Where do you get the piano sheet music from? All in all I hope you will never stop making these kind of videos. I love them so much and you always make me feel happier. Greatings from Germany 🇩🇪 👋🏼👏🏼

So this is how you called Rain before Storm.

Debussy really knows how to express feelings using music. One of my favorite composers ever. I also won't be suprised if Rousseau already composed atleast one song because they play so elegantly that it's making me cry

I’m sad to say This will be my final story An old friend once told me something that gave me great comfort Something he had read Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin Never died They simply became music So I hope you will enjoy this last piece Very much.

Next Monday will be officially called Hungarian Rhapsody no 2 day

This piece is very important to me because it's the piece that taught me a very valuable lesson : to never underestimate how difficult classical music can be, its random but this later translated to me to never judge things by how they may appear. This is one of the first pieces I had fully learnt on piano and initially I had thought "oh this doesnt look that difficult, I might actually be able to learn it( I had listened to a lot of liszt's pieces and thought I would never be able to learn them to die the difficulty), flash forward 2 years and I'm still trying to perfect this piece, which taught me another lesson, to always have patience, things dont happen instantly. Some of my friends always ask why I like classical music and the piano so much, and i always feel them that without classical music, I would've never discovered myself truly. TL,DR : classical music helped me appreciate the world and myself more ig

Debussy has always been my favorite composer, I absolutely love the way he can transform dreams in music.

This piece really captures the feeling of being lost in thought. I remember when I first heard this song (it was a demo song on a yamaha keyboard) I was stuck in a trance. When it finished, I sat for a few minutes before looking at the name of the song on the keyboard display. It truly fits.

*When you thought HR2 is gonna be posted today , but you forgot the Rousseau who always love to troll.*

Rousseau: posts beautiful music Fans: *Y U NO HR2*

I love this piece. It’s so nostalgic for me. I played this piece 6 years ago, at the age of 10. Mind you, I shortened many chords for my small hands and didn’t do the greatest job, but its remains one of my favourite pieces ever since I was just a toddler.

Debussy, for me, was the best artist of all.

My mother used to play this to me at night to fall asleep when I was young. I think if each of us had someone to play us a lullaby on the piano each night we'd be all be better adjusted.

This just sounds like the final days of a full life to me. So beautiful! Thanks Rousseau!

A piece that reminds me of a golden wheat near harvest, a field of golden reeds before sunset, a small house in the middle of a meadow, and a view sitting on a swing chair in the small yard attached to the house.

Debussy's music is so relaxing and elegant. I enjoy listening to all of his music. 😊

It sounds so wonderful, thank you for your amazing content!

- What do you hear Dolores? - It doesn't sound like anything to me...

All of Debussy's songs sound like the soundtrack to the best dream ever. True genius.

am i the only one that imagines this is me playing in front of my whole school

Thank you. This is one of my favorite Debussy compositions!

Such a beautiful underrated piece, Debussy is such a genius

Whenever I hear Rêverie, I think about white lilies near a pond. Pristine clear waters reflecting the wonders of nature around it. The lilies look simplistic yet seem to have a deeper meaning. I can imagine a young woman, brown locks of hair, a floral dress as white as the lilies and a sun hat. The cattails around the perimeter of the pond are disrupted by the young woman gliding her hand across. The wind whistles softly, calling her name as she looks up to the sky to see a dove flying oh so freely, with a will of its own. You are free Tall grasses, as crowded as they are begin to hustle and bustle in multiple directions. The young woman lowers herself to pick up one of the lilies, tying the flower to her hat. Her lover, only a few feet away prepares a small picnic near the pond and lies down next to each other, looking at the white puffy clouds in the sky. Time goes on, and the sky gradually turns a bright orange, messaging them it is time for them to go.

Beautiful is an understatement. Thankyou for sharing this most pure of sound

U have no idea how ready I am

Beautiful piece of music. I think it really embodies the whole Post-Romantic Impressionist movement perfectly.

My favorite Debussy piece. So gentle and lovely.

I love Debussy, he has such a way of creating emotion and conveying meaning through his music

Everyone is like he is soooo good at this and Im like "how does he put the lights?"

I was put under anesthesia today. This song made loopy me so happy. I woke up and my friend started playing this song for me since she knows I like your music. I hit the call button and asked the nurse to listen to this with me. My friend said she didn't stay long of course, but I was content. I just rewatched it because I have NO memory but I'm glad I could fall in love twice today 😂

This piece brings back many painful nights, but also how far I've come. thank you :)

I'm listening this on a rainy drizzling night. This piece is just beautiful, so dreamy atmosphere.

Something I attempted years ago... hope to be able to play this again soon. Great work as always!

for me Debussy had been a hero his music is still beautiful today, dps of many, many years I just thank God for putting a man like him in our land thanks for showing me this wonderful song. you already merese 1 more written

I can't believe you actually did it! Thank you! I love this piece from him. There is something so magical and dreamy about this that just captivates my listening ears to keep on listening. I've learned the first 3 measures of this piece and I intend on finishing it.

imagine the end of a deadly battle, or about the end of the war just to see a city ended in ruines. This would reflect perfectly the situation

I actually just heard this song for the first time and I absolutely love it!!! Its now one of my favorites.

Beautiful. Thank you. God bless you all have a great day or night. Thanks Rousseau.

This is a masterpiece. I haven't heard such a beautiful rendition ever before.

Such a beautiful piece. One of my favorite from Debussy !

The quality of the playing is so lovely

Beautiful song and the playing to match it

Such a calm and beautiful piece... thanks for the performance!

This piece portrays a beautiful scene, it truly reminds me of an island that is surrounded with water, grass, the blue sky and flowers. Debussy is a great composer, this is absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Its a piece that makes my body softer, heart warmer and eyes tearful. I love this too much.

This is the type of piece by Debussy that I absolutely adore, clean and simple. Blanc et Noir I think is for someone with a taste for really intense pieces.

I wish i could hear this for the first time again

This piece is one of my favorites. I feel like I wanna cry, but smile too. So lovely. Poems for my ears.

Your touch is excellent, but what I LOVE about your interpretation is your tempo; it’s so patient! Thank you for savoring it

Whenever I hear this piece, I feel like I’m flying above the ocean

Ah I see, Rousseau raided area 51 to get the legendary ability to play Hungarian Rhapsody no. 2 perfectly

This is so beautiful. My heart is melting.

Love your renditions. Thank You Rousseau.

it's fantastic! Rousseau is the best pianist for me... good job Rousseau!😆😆😆😆

Loved the hazy effects!😍

Best on youtube, perfect tempo, exactly how i like it

I always enjoy this.

debussy will always be one of my favourite composers

Chopin Op 48. No 1 please 💛 keep up the good work

Probably my favorite Debussy piece. You play so well. Thank you!

oh man! love this version. not as mysterious, otherworldly sounding at a slower tempo, but the dreamy, simplicity of the beautiful melody is captured so perfectly. thank you

Some of debussy’s work is just perfect for listening to while you chill out and fall asleep

I’m 42 and started practicing piano this week. Your videos have been my inspiration to try to learn piano, even at my age. No teacher, just some books. Should probably get a teacher, though, lol. I doubt I will get this good, but perhaps I could get 10% as good!

Claude Debussy = Perfection. Thank you Master Rousseau for such a beautiful interpretation are my favorites with Clair De Lune.

Beautiful. Simply and beautifully played.

To dream of the future accompanied by this piece is like touching heaven and finding God’s Love . A blessing for healing and finding peace. Nothing is better than dreaming of peace and future with hope. Our thoughts are the words of our love for live and living. Prayers are the healers of our soul and survival and accompanied by this music we touch heaven.

YESSSSS! I WAS WAITING FOR THIS! :DD I honestly love Debussy's pieces! I don't listen to classical music much, but the pieces composed by Debussy is definitely amazing! Especially Rêverie!

Parts of this song gives off funeral march vibes

I absolutely love Debussy pieces, and the way you play them Rousseau is so beautiful!

whenever im stressed, this piece comes to my mind instantly :) thank u rosseau

I'm not first I'm not last But when I see a new Rousseau video I click fast

Thank you for playing this, it's my favorite piece by Debussy. I requested it a while back. Thank you!

Oh my gosh!! I played this for a flute solo and you playing this brought back some fond memories! Thank you! Definitely one of my favorite pieces!

Claude Debussy é, e sempre será meu compositor preferido! rêverie, clair de lune, arabesque1 e 2 , la fille aux cheveux de lin, pagodes e todas as outras, são obras simplesmente perfeitas!!!

2:55 reminds me of a Golden Age Disney cartoon score. I love this piece, though, as with all Debussy, whenever I leave it too long I have to re-learn how to play it! Debussy tends to be very efficient with notes, achieving subtle harmonies with quite sparse chords... but that means that a single finger-fumble can ruin everything!

What a gorgeous piece. Absolutely marvelous!

Perfect. Thank you .

excellent!

Man I'd love to see you playing Beethoven's Waldstein Sonata (mov 1 and 3 especially )

I think this is the best version on youtube its so soft and serene and really captures the beauty of Debussy’s music here. Bravo!!!!!!!!

YAY. I absolutely love this piece. 😩💕 So happy to hear it.

This is a perfect piece for a video game OST

When you try to learn this and the polyrhythm hits you right away.

Love the visuals - the scroll. I was mesmerized by it and the music.

This is my favourite Debussy piece. Fantastic!
